Wash your kitchen with saltee warm water.
Mix pure peppermint oil with a little water in a spray bottle and spray around the areas where the little pests are. I use chalk outside my my doors and windows too.
My grandmother had success with chopping cucumber peel p and leaving it for ants to take back to their hill. It apparently takes care of them!
Go to your local hardware or big box store and buy those little Terro packs. Place along the border of where you are seeing them. Do not clean up the dead ones. Ants will take the dead back to original nest and poison the rest at the source. So leave things messy for a couple days until you don’t see anymore activity. Usually doing this once in the spring takes care of them for the year and it only takes a couple days.
I use a product called Terro. They sell it at hardware stores, online, Walmart, etc. It's is a poison that is inside a trap. The ants will collect it and take it back to their nest. They'll eat it and it'll kill them outside your home.
